Walpurgis Night is so on my list if my dream group fall through (it sadly dose every year T-T everyone love Yami no Matseui but no one gives it time to create a costume for it.).
I technically wanted to do it this year for AN but my Kongiku cosplay was pushed back from the previous year. She will be a hybrid as I want to use a veil to cover my eyes and leave my face exposed (painted white) but design it as a cowl seen in medieval dresses.http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__...0px-Still2.jpg

The rest of the details however I would stick to the design and a wear platform boots and add the the small smaller gears but add a seam next to a one on the teeth so that I can still walk.

Id totally cosplay a genderbent Madoka I think she would be an adorable boy. That's another thing I havent seen to many people cosplay.

If you did gretchen as an anti madoka people would recongnize that your from the series.

Im not a big fan of Mami but I love that outfit. Its so cute! I really want to play that game >.<

Madoka would be such a cute boy ;u; Plus I'd get to wear poofy shorts which oh my gosh I love. <333 But then I'd feel like I'd need a boy Homura, too...
I'd also love to do boy!Sayaka just to be accompanied by a boy!Kyoko. I love him with a short ponytail ;u;

///u/// I was thinking about it today, and that it'd be fun to write stuff in runes on my face or neck or something for the costume.

I really love the outfit ;u; Especially the tiny sleeve poof things.
The game looks really neat, but I know I'd be frustrated if I didn't save everyone. |>

Oh my a genderbent Madoka with puffy shorts would be so adorable >w<! A boy homura
would be nice but everytime I see fanart of it he still looks like a girl x.x.

That sounds like a great idea. I was going to suggest something like that .

Yes, the poof sleeves makes it even better :3~! Its a pretty awesome game
it has multiple endings and interesting scenarios.

I cosplayed Madoka on a recent con, made it myself. The petal skirt was a bitch but other then that it just needed lot's of time.

But for the next con that in a month I'm thinking of making her bow, the one with the rose, and I need some tips. So if you made a bow, how did you do it? A real branch or something else? What version did you do? How did you get the gems in it etc.

@Meaier
I made my bow for Otakon.
To make it, i used a wooden dowel, that is 1 feet smaller than my height. Cut a little slit on the top & bottom of the bow. Then, got a fishing line and tied within the slits. To make stay in place, put duct tape around it. Why the slits and the fishing line? So that, when you pull on the line. The bow should have a curve effect to it. Also, took a very skinny wooden dowel, cut it into 2 pieces and glued it to the bow. So, it can be the branchs for the bow. I taped foam on to the bow. Then, paint.
Usally for the gems, its hard to find in large size. So, I prefer to paint gems on the bow.

Looking at this thread is making me wish I wasn't broke and could by the materials...

So I am attempting to make Madoka for my girlfriend and also Homura. First of all...I was just wondering what fabric you used for the outfits, Madoka or Homura.

I was thinking about a cotton fabric, but it's a little thin sometimes. (I work at a fabric store, so I'm constantly surrounded by fabric, and I continue to second guess myself when I look at the options.)

Well avoid broadcloth that stuff is just not made for garments only quilting. Not all cotton wrinkle badly my, Mami shirt is a medium weight 100% cotton sateen. You can also dye cotton to the shade you want as well.

A polyester fabric or polyester/cotten blend I've also seen used to the girls. so long as the fabric is opaque and not sheer you good to go.
